The Lantern - Reading / Craft Activity.
The Lantern
Note to Teacher/ Parent/ Tutor:
This activity follows Chapter Three of ‘The Christmas Tree’.
Decide how you would like the children to decorate the lantern. The following are ideas for you to consider. Of course you may have ideas of your own:
o If the children are young you may decide to copy the lantern onto coloured paper and assemble it
without further decoration. (Copied onto rainbow paper and assembled without further decoration
produces a spectacular result – but it is expensive.)
o Copying the lantern onto coloured paper and decorating it with Christmas ribbon glued across the top and the bottom is attractive. Paper ‘ribbon’ also looks attractive.
o Letting the children use their imaginations and decorating it freely with textas is also desirable.
Discuss and encourage patterns.
o Christmas stamps are an easy way to decorate the lantern.
Each child will need a lantern activity sheet and the accompanying instruction sheet.
You will need to read the instruction sheet with early readers. More developed readers will be able to read and follow the instructions with minimal help.
Each child will need a strip of paper about 21cms x 2 cm for a lantern handle. (A4 sheet cut into strips)
You may decide to use coloured paper. If you choose not to decorate the lantern handles the children will need to skip Number 5 on the instruction sheet.
Number 4 on the instruction sheet reads “Decorate your lantern”.
I have deliberately left this open ended so you can provide the art/craft materials that are available to you.
Before the children begin the activity it is a good idea to show them the materials which will be available for them to use.
If you have decided to assemble the lanterns without further decoration ask the children to skip Number 4 on the instruction sheet.
